The board of directors at NightHawk Radiology Holdings, a provider of radiology solutions to radiology groups and hospitals, has approved a plan to reshuffle members of senior management.
Effective Nov. 15, Paul E. Berger, MD, resigned as CEO and will be succeeded by David M. Engert, a NightHawk director and member of its audit, nominating and corporate governance committees since April 30. Berger will continue to serve as non-executive chairman of the board and will work with Engert over the next several months to ensure a smooth transition, according to the Coeur D'Alene, Idaho-based company.
